chIch vay' 'oy'moHmeH 'oy'naQ 'ul law' tlhuD 'oH. 
Painstiks... emit a highly-charged shock for the express purpose of
inflicting pain. S32

KGT 65:  the painstik, {'oy'naQ}, a long staff that emits a powerful (and
painful) jolt of electricity ({'ul}). Though not an implement of ancient
origins (its use of electricity attests to that)...

TREK TRIVIA:

The Companion in the Gamma Canaris region who rescued Zefram Cochrane was a
cloud-creature consisting of ionized mixture of gases and "simple
electricity". (TOS "Metamorphosis")

"Some creatures can pass energy through their bodies with no harm to
themselves; the electric eel on Earth. The giant dryworm of Antos IV. The
fluffy..." (Chekov, TOS "Who Mourns for Adonais?")

PUN: 
At qep'a' loSDIch MO confirmed the suspicion of a list member about its
origin: electronic goods sold in the US have a sticker on them saying UL
("Underwriter's Laboratory") showing they meet industry safety standards.
